This is the true story of a very brave and special little mouse, Jack, and the unbelievable adventures he got up to.
Jack the Mouse, as we came to call him, was from Walshestown. It's a small little area right in the middle of Ireland, full of green fields, lakes and streams. And of course all sorts of animals, friendly and dangerous alike, as you'll soon find out.
I moved to Walshestown when I got married. Soon after my two children were born, I first encountered this amazing little creature. The first time I saw him, he was flying a plane (that I thought was my son's lampshade) out the bathroom window. You see, Jack the mouse was no ordinary mouse. In fact, you may not even believe some of these stories. He fought off teams of animals led by the evil villain Mrs Mink with her red, burning eyes, made friends with Mrs Fox who always wanted to eat him, and rode his motorbike along the canals in daring rescue attempts. But they are true - many of these stories happened down the Boreen behind my house - and he did it all to keep our little family safe.
I've held all these stories in my heart - but now its time the world knows what an amazing little mouse Jack is. I'm writing them all done, one by one. They may be exciting, they may be surprising, they may even seem a bit crazy, not to mention scary! This is for you, Jack !
